Sarah Connor Chronicles

Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, and Richard T. Jones where all at the 2007 Comic Con convention at San Diego. At Comic Con they showed the pilot episode to fans, which (according to IGN) was received really well.

More on the convention:

Afterwards, the producers and cast from the series took to the stage to field questions. Glau’s costar Richard T. Jones humorously said how it was his sad fate to be the person sitting next to Glau who always had to follow her when answers were being given, and thus follow some frequent big cheers from the crowd, such as when she was asked what the appeal of the show was for her and she said “I get to be a Terminator!”. The cast seemed to get along very well, and Glau referenced a scene in the pilot at one point, saying “When you’re standing on a freeway in Albuquerque, naked, all you have is each other.”

Producer James Middleton noted he’d worked on Terminator 3, and when that project was over, he thought about how intrigued he was by the character Sarah, and wanted to do something more with her, since she wasn’t in T3. He said they picked up the Terminator 2 saying “no fate but what we make” and ran with it, plotting this alternate take on Sarah’s life after T2, that would not be in continuity with Terminator 3, which the audience applauded. Actor Thomas Dekker (”John Connor”) praised the director of the pilot, David Nutter, noting that the first time they met Nutter “he talked about Comic-Con” and wanting to please that audience of big fans.

300’s Lena Heady plays Sarah Connor, and said she had been afraid of facing the fans, knowing she was stepping into some big shoes with this character. She joked that her plans to get through the action-packed series involve “napping and steroids.”

Glau laughed as an audience member asked about all the “ass-kicking” roles she plays, such as River and now Sarah Connor’s Cameron. She said “I came to L.A. thinking I would do Jane Eyre!” and said her dance background had served her well when it came to fight scenes. Answering another question from the same audience member about how much she was influenced by a certain famous bodybuilder turned movie star turned California governor, she deadpanned “I definitely patterned my performance after Arnold.” As for where she’d like her character to go, she said “I want to fall in love!” and Dekker began pointing at himself.

Executive Producer Josh Friedman told the audience that “We are always thinking of new versions of the Terminator,” and when asked if we could see the T-1000 from T2 again, he replied “Anything is possible.”

Friedman noted that he had the entire story arc for Season 1 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which premieres in early 2008, mapped out. The audience clearly were excited to see more of the show, applauding again as Friedman added that he also “had ideas for Seasons 2, 3 and 4.”

If you don’t know by now, The Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of the most anticipated new shows, and people already have high expectations for the coming season of the show. This Terminator TV show has been considering placing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on the show, but doesn’t know if it’s possible. It’s been talked about on having him appear as a one-time show guest.

James Middleton, a producer on the show, spoke on the issue. “We’ve talked a lot about it,” he said. “But the reality is that as governor, he’s incredibly busy. As a star, he’s incredibly expensive. We don’t know. We just don’t know.”

The producers didn’t rule it out, but the possibility of the Governator to appear on The Sarah Connor Chronicles does not seem likely.

According to Star Online eCentral, Fox is having the pilot, or at least part of it, remade. They’re remaking the Sarah Connor Chronicles Pilot because of a scene or scence involving violence and/or shooting in a school building. They’re remaking this pilot because of the potential similarities to the Virginia Tech Shootings. The scene was originally when John Connor was attacked in a school building.
